250MHz Triple Differential Receiver/ Equalizer with I2C
Interface
ISL59911
The ISL59911 is a triple channel differential receiver and
equalizer optimized for RGB and YPbPr video signals. It
contains three high speed differential receivers with
programmable frequency compensation. The ISL59911
features manual or automatic offset calibration and ±4dB of
gain adjustment range with a resolution of 0.1dB.
The ISL59911 has a bandwidth of 250MHz and consumes only
110mA from a ±5V supply in normal operation.
When deasserted, the ENABLE pin puts the amplifiers into a
low power, high impedance state, minimizing power when not
needed and also allowing multiple devices to be connected in
parallel, allowing two or more ISL59911 devices to function as
a multiplexer.
The ISL59911 can also directly decode the sync signals
encoded onto the common modes of three pairs of Cat 5 cable
(by an ISL59311, EL4543, or similar device) or it can output
the actual common mode voltages for each of the three
channels.
The ISL59911 is available in a 32 Ld QFN package and is
specified for operation over the full -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

Applications Information
ISL59911 Overview
Differential video signals sent over long distances of twisted pair
wire encounter are increasingly attenuated as frequency and
distance increase, resulting in loss of high frequency detail
(blurring). The exact loss characteristic is a function of the wire
gauge, whether the pairs are shielded or unshielded, the
dielectric of the insulation, and the length of the wire. The loss
mechanism is primarily skin effect.
The signal can be restored by applying a filter with the inverse
transfer function of the cable to the far end signal. The ISL59911
is designed to compensate for losses due to long cables, and
incorporates the functionality and flexibility to match a wide
variety of loss characteristics.
Power Supply Sequencing
Power to the ISL59911’s negative supply pins should be applied
before the positive supply ramps. As shown in Figure 11,
V- should reach -3V before V+ reaches 1V.
If this power supply sequence cannot be guaranteed, then the
ADDR1 pin must be held low during power-up until V- has crossed
-3V.
If this power supply sequencing requirement is not met and if
ADDR1 is high, there is a small chance that the ISL59911 factory
trim will become permanently corrupted.
Power Supply Bypassing
For best performance, all ICs need bypass capacitors across
some or all of their power supply pins. The best high-frequency
decoupling is achieved with a 0.1μF capacitor between each
power supply pin and GND. Adjacent supply pins (pins 2 and 3,
19 and 20, 22 and 23, and 25 and 26) can share the same
decoupling capacitor. Keep the path to both pins as short as
possible to minimize inductance and resistance. Pins 3 and 10
provide power to the internal equalizer, while supply pins
between pin 17 and pin 25 provide power to the analog output
buffers. For best performance, the equalizer supplies should be
somewhat isolated from the buffer supplies. A separate path
back to the power source should be adequate.
A 10μF capacitor on each of the V+ and V- supplies provides
sufficient low-frequency decoupling. The 10μF capacitors do not
need to be particularly close to the ISL59911 to be effective, but
should still have a low-impedance path to the supply rails.
In many mixed-signal ICs, separation of the analog and digital
supplies and grounds is critical to prevent digital noise from
appearing on the analog signals. Because the digital logic in the
ISL59911 is only active during a one-time configuration, the
analog and digital supply pins (and grounds) can be connected
together, simplifying PCB layout and routing.
Input Termination
The differential input signal from a Cat x cable should have a
characteristic impedance of 100Ω and is therefore terminated by
the two 50Ω resistors across the differential inputs, as shown in
Figure 1 on page 1. The 50Ω resistor and 0.1µF capacitor
connected to the midpoint keep the AC impedance low at high
frequencies, providing common-mode AC termination while
allowing the low-frequency component of the common mode
(containing the embedded H and V sync signals) to move freely.
The 1k resistor provides a higher-impedance DC path to ground,
so the common mode voltage is set to 0V when no cable is
connected.
Device Initialization
To ensure that the ISL59911 functions properly, the following
steps must be taken after initial power-up:
1. Ensure that the ENABLE pin is high.
2. Through the serial interface, write 0x06 to register 0x13, then
write 0x00 to the same register. This ensures that the DC gain
of the device is accurate.
3. Perform an offset calibration by setting bit 0 of register 0x0C
to 1. The bit is automatically resets to 0 upon completion of
calibration. If offset calibration is not performed, the
ISL59911 may have large DC offsets.
Communicating with the ISL59911
The ISL59911 is controlled through the industry standard I2C
serial interface. Adjustments to the frequency response over five
distinct frequency bands, gain and offset fine-tuning, and several
other functions are made through this interface as described in
the Register Listing starting on page 8. This level of control
enables much more accurate and flexible response matching
than previous solutions.
The ISL59911 also has an external Chip Enable (ENABLE) pin,
allowing hardware control of whether the chip is operating or in a
low-power standby mode.
Programming the ISL59911 for a Specific
Cable and Length
Determining the optimum settings for the ISL59911’s multiple
equalizer frequencies, gain, and low pass filter can initially seem
quite challenging. To equalize any cable type of any length,
transmit a step (a pure white screen works well, since the video
in HSYNC region is black) and adjust the filters, starting at
200kHz and working up to 100MHz, so that the response at the
receive end is as flat as possible. Once the response is flat, the
gain should be adjusted as necessary to compensate for the DC
losses.
This technique is not usually practical in the field, where the best
solution is a lookup table for each cable type. Table 1 shows the
best values for a typical Cat 5 cable.

Offset Calibration
Historically, programmable video equalizer ICs have had large
and varying offset voltages, often requiring external circuitry
and/or manual trim to reduce the offset to acceptable levels. The
ISL59911 improves upon this by adding an offset calibration
circuit that, when triggered by setting bit 0 of I2C register 0x0C,
shorts the inputs together internally, compares the ROUT, GOUT,
and BOUT voltages to their corresponding RREF, GREF, and BREF
voltages and uses a DAC with a successive-approximation
technique to minimize the delta between them (see Figure 12).
When the ISL59911 is first powered up, the offset error is
undefined until an offset calibration is performed. The output
offset voltage of the ISL59911 also varies as the filter and gain
settings are adjusted. To minimize offset, always perform an
offset calibration after finalizing the filter and gain settings.
An offset calibration only takes about 3μs, so offset calibrations
can be performed after every register write without adding
significant time to the adjustment process. This minimizes offset
throughout the entire equalization adjustment procedure.
Output Signals
The ROUT, GOUT, and BOUT outputs can drive either a standard
75Ω video load in x1 gain mode or a 150Ω source-terminated
load (75Ω in series at source end [ISL59911 output pin], plus
75Ω termination to ground at receive end) in x2 mode. If the
output of the ISL59911 is going directly into an ISL59920 or
similar delay line, termination to ground is not necessary,
however, a ~75Ω series resistor at each output pin will help
isolate the outputs from the PCB trace capacitance, improving
the flatness of the frequency response.
When ENABLE is low, the ROUT, GOUT, and BOUT outputs are put
in a high-impedance state, allowing multiple ISL59911 devices
to be configured as a multiplexer by paralleling their outputs and
using ENABLE to select the active RGB channel.
Common Mode and HSYNC/VSYNC Outputs
In addition to the incoming differential video signals, the
ISL59911 also processes the common mode voltage on the
differential inputs and can output the signal in one of two ways
(as determined by the Output Configuration bit in register 0x01).
When the Output Configuration bit is set to 0 (the default), the
common mode input voltages are sent to comparators that
decode the voltage into HSYNC and VSYNC signals according to
the EL4543/ISL59311 standard encoding scheme shown in
Figure 13 and in Table 2 on page 11. The HSYNC signal appears
on the HSOUT/RCM pin, the VSYNC signal on VSOUT/GCM. The BCM
output pin is held at a logic low (0v).
To minimize noise coupling into the analog section from the sync
output drivers, the HSOUT and VSOUT outputs have limited current
drive, and should be buffered by 74HC04 or similar CMOS
buffers, as shown in Figure 1, before driving any significant loads
(such as a VGA cable).
When the Output Configuration bit is set to 1, buffered versions
of the three common mode input voltages are available on the
RCM, GCM, and BCM pins. Making the raw common mode signal
available allows for custom encoding schemes and/or
transmission of analog signals on the video signals’ common
mode.

Power Dissipation
The ISL59911 is designed to operate with ±5V supply voltages.
The supply currents are tested in production and guaranteed to
be less than 140mA per channel. Operating at ±5V power supply,
the total power dissipation is shown by Equation 1:
Where:
•PD
MAX = Maximum power dissipation
•V
S = Supply voltage = 5V
•I
MAX = Maximum quiescent supply current = 140mA
•V
OUTMAX = Maximum output voltage swing of the
application = 2V
The 3 term comes from the number of channels
•R
L = Load resistance = 150Ω
•PD
MAX = 1.4W
θJA required for long term reliable operation can be calculated.
This is done using Equation 2:
Where:
TJ is the maximum junction temperature (+150°C)
TA is the maximum ambient temperature (+85°C)
For a 32 Ld QFN package in a proper layout PCB heatsinking
copper area, 31°C/W θJA thermal resistance can be achieved. To
disperse the heat, the bottom heatspreader must be soldered to
the PCB. Heat flows through the heatspreader to the circuit board
copper, then spreads and converts to air. Thus the PCB copper
plane becomes the heatsink. This has proven to be a very
effective technique. A separate application note that details the
32 pin QFN PCB design considerations is available.

ISL59911 Serial Communication
Overview
The ISL59911 uses the I2C serial bus protocol for
communication with its host (master). SCL is the Serial Clock
line, driven by the host, and SDA is the Serial Data line, which can
be driven by all devices on the bus. SDA is open drain to allow
multiple devices to share the same bus simultaneously.
Communication is accomplished in three steps:
1. The host selects the ISL59911 it wishes to communicate
with.
2. The host writes the initial ISL59911 Configuration Register
address it wishes to write to or read from.
3. The host writes to or reads from the ISL59911s Configuration
Register. The ISL59911s internal address pointer auto
increments, so to read registers 0x00 through 0x1B, for
example, one would write 0x00 in step 2, then repeat step
three 28 times, with each read returning the next register
value.
The ISL59911 has a 7-bit address on the serial bus,
10001<a1><a0>b, where 10001 is fixed and a0 and a1 are the
state of the ADDR0 and ADDR1 pins, respectively. This allows up
to four ISL59911 devices to be independently controlled by the
same serial bus.
To control more than four devices (or more than two, if ADDR1 is
tied low as discussed in “Power Supply Sequencing” on page 10)
from a single I2C host, use a “chip select” signal for each device.
For example, in the firmware, the host can fix the I2C address to
1000101b for all devices, selecting the device to be
communicated to by taking its ADDR0 pin high while the ADDR0
pins of all other devices remain low. The selected device
recognizes its current address (1000101b) and respond
normally, while the remaining devices will have an address of
1000100b and therefore ignore the communication. This
requires one additional GPIO for each ISL59911, but it permits
as many ISL59111 devices to be controlled as desired, without
any additional external logic.
The bus is nominally inactive, with SDA and SCL high.
Communication begins when the host issues a START command
by taking SDA low while SCL is high (Figure 14). The ISL59911
continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start
condition and does not respond to any command until this
condition has been met. The host then transmits the 7-bit serial
address plus a R/W bit, indicating if the next transaction is a
Read (R/W = 1) or a Write (R/W = 0). If the address transmitted
matches that of any device on the bus, that device must respond
with an ACKNOWLEDGE (Figure 15).
Once the serial address has been transmitted and
acknowledged, one or more bytes of information can be written
to or read from the slave. Communication with the selected
device in the selected direction (read or write) is ended by a STOP
command, where SDA rises while SCL is high (Figure 14), or a
second START command, which is commonly used to reverse
data direction without relinquishing the bus.
The I2C spec requires that data on the serial bus must be valid
for the entire time SCL is high (Figure 16). To ensure incoming
data has settled, data written to the ISL59911 is latched on a
delayed version of the rising edge of SCL.
When the contents of the ISL59911 are being read, the SDA line
is updated after the falling edge of SCL, delayed and deglitched
in the same manner.
